gently caress the haters, I like the new uniforms. Everything looks a little weird in a vacuum these, like the dolphins will look pretty cool on the field imo.

that's all I know, unfortunately. This Uni-Watch post is the most comprehensive source, and according to them, Nike says it's due to "color matching issues" and "midnight green is a custom color that apparently needs time to make," despite being able to get everyone else's custom colors completed well in advance of now.

e: if I had to guess, and this is just a total shot in the dark, it has to do with "midnight green" being very metallic, whereas it seems like Nike switched to matte versions of all previously metallic colors (San Francisco's pants, etc.) when they got the uniform contract, which IIRC was also something to do with Nike's manufacturing process. I imagine they can't get a flat version of the midnight green that doesn't look like crap.

Don't the oregon ducks have a similar shade of green for some of their unis?

I mean obviously not the exact same but I thought it wouldn't be that hard to adjust it.

Michael Irvin a man who's been busted numerous times for drug posession is going to lecture me on supporting criminal enterprises.

Maybe they can get Ben Roethlisberger to do an anti-rape ad.

Rae Carruth can do one on parenting classes.

Ray Rice on not beating your wife.

Steve Smith on talking through your anger issues.

Michael Vick on animal rights.

I like the Jets unis most of all in the league. They're so loving simple but look so good.

Some dude did an edit of what he expects the panthers to be, I'd think it'll be a little less metallic and a little more pastel with blue socks and skins https://twitter.com/prosportedits14/status/659941363337863169

Should be cool as gently caress - I hope they go full retard, blue cleats, blue gloves, blue everything.

Panthers need a new helmet, the speckled grey/silver is kind of 90s. I don't really know how you'd improve it though. Maybe Nike will come up with something not terrible. Even then I doubt Jerry Richardson would go for it.

Was there a schedule of nike re-designs for uniforms or was it more an opt in thing with teams?

I couldn't remember whether it was only a few teams like the Buccs and Browns who were going for a big update or if all the teams were eventually getting their stuff changed?
